This is a wonderful slow-cooker recipe, featuring tender chunks of beef stew meat. The flavor was quite bold, smoky, and rich, with a medium heat level. So good! I topped the chili with pepper jack cheese and light sour cream.

My “to-go” recipe for the times I am craving a classic, hearty bowl of chili. This recipe is everything I want in a chili – thick, spicy, hearty – and is perfect for crisp autumn afternoons spent watching the football game

An interesting take on a standard dish, boasting rich smoky flavors from chipotles in adobo, chorizo, and semi-sweet chocolate and a moderate heat level. Cornbread went especially well with this chili – I would suggest a hearty helping of sweet cornbread with this dish.
